Cultural Policies and Trends in Europe: a compendium of basic facts and trends is
a transnational project initiated by the Council of Europe and has been running since 1998 as a joint venture with the European Institute for Comparative Cultural Research (ERICarts).
It is a unique (on-line and off-line) information system which provides easy access to data, facts, trends and summaries of current debates on
national cultural policy developments in Europe.
